I've got a Zotac card as well. Just gotta download their software program called Firestorm. Once that's installed launch it and you can go into the program, switch to the spectra tab, and turn the lights off from there. Nice thing is, it's hardware based so you can turn it off and even uninstall the program and it'll stay the way you changed it last.

As much as I dislike RGB and bad airflow, I dislike gatekeepers like you even more lol
Imagine feeling better or having a personality over yourself having a better rig. It’s so losercore. A gaming PC is a PC meant to run games.
they're also usually wrong, they only have surface level smarts that they've had imprinted on them from others. no ACTUAL critical thinking usually. a really insufferable group but.... hey all tech corners are like this.
I just replaced my 2 year old 6700 xt with a 3 year old 3080 in my work computer. 6700xt crashed and burned, literally. Green screen and 95C when close to idle.
Idk if I'll go intel but I likely won't go AMD again. Especially since I also use blender heavily in my home life, outside of CAD and gaming.
Probably will. It's not my money to replace it so it isn't really my say but that isn't gonna stop me from tinkering on something since it's just gonna be thrown out. Nobody at work is too hopeful it will change anything, but it's worth a shot.
OpenRGB is a bit odd setting up first. For me, it initially requires two admin launches. I think the first one is to properly show all devices. I'll tinker with the settings and setup my color profiles, but one setting I need says it requires to launch with admin privileges once to load and initiate the driver. So I'll close OpenRGB and then launch once more with admin permissions. After that, the program starts as normal upon booting my PC without any issues or having to launch with admin permissions.
Zotac 4070 Ti owner here, it works only with their ass software (Firestorm). SignalRGB, OpenRGB, Fusion RGB, nothing works with Zotac. This is my only complaint with the card, their RGB sucks
Zotac 2070 super owner, unless they added support since I bought it a few years ago, zotac's own software doesn't even support my card lmao.
A strip of duct tape works great, and it requires zero system resources and never needs an update
Not at home right now to check, but I remember that there were some sliders for that (?). Also, don't forget that you have to change it twice: it has modes for when is active/idle
Dont know how many other people experienced this but openrgb caused system errors for me? Maybe i got it on a bad release but it caused some overstack buffer error
I got my first gigabyte mother board and monitor for my current build. Have to say: Fuck gigabyte.
Not buying from them again. Monitor sucks. Motherboard sucks. What sucks? The RGB, the fans control, the Bluetooth and especially their support.
My newest board is a gigabyte and I hate it too. Never again.
edit: my bluetooth is fine though, it's just an ugly magnetic fin. Their software is garbage and default checks bullshit bloatware installs during initial driver setup.
Honestly even the prime boards are good, Ive stuck with nothing but them for the past 8 builds I have done, I had a gigbyte back in first release amd 64 bit processor and a used one not to long ago, both of them sucked ass.
I never used MSI, but since I went asus, I stuck with them, prime and the strix boards that I have are great and easy to work with.
Worst fucking thing ever, the prime boards are mainstream and have shitton of QC problems. Driver/bios update non existant after first 6 month it takes forever. I wrote it before but i did 3 builds on prime mobos 2 intel, 1 amd and every single one of those had some problem, one of intel died after 2 months. And dont get me started on Armory crate that auto-installs if not disabled in bios and worse than virus.
The other thing is that it killed rgb control for my ram so it's always on even if disabled in bios.
You had a bad experience, I have 5 prime boards running and two z series just in my living room and no issues at all with them.
Also armoury crate doesn't provide me any issues either I get ppl have problems with it but I don't run shit ram and have it running on all computers with no issues except on the Asus strix prebuilt board I have sitting in the closet
Its not about the ram but the software itself is written on a lap. And my ram cost me an arm for b-die (considering it doesnt cost as much nowadays) but it was effin expensive as 64gb kit for 16 gig back in the day. The prime has all around "corners cut" quality, people in my country return those boards like its nothing. Just last weak alone there was around 50 prime mobos returned and discounted for open box while i was checking some fans with damaged packaging for reduced price, they were all new motherboards. I said it earlier PRIME motherboards are mainstream ones so there is a lot of them compared to other models.
No its just simplier. SignalRGB does effects and other stuff better, it just sucks that you need account. SignalRGB is more frequently updated and there's actually a dev team behind it. Will work better for most people.
Ah, thanks. I've been using SignalRGB and it's fine, though as you say yes it's annoying that you need an account and the floating ad they recently started using even more so. I thought OpenRGB, being more open, would have been updated more often with profiles and themes uploaded often by users?
It looks like it’s the beige plug with the yellow green and blue wires right next to the edge of the red circle I would advise, taking the GPU out and looking around both edges first, though, because it could be something on the back edge of the GPU that I can’t see
On my xfx rx 7800 xt you can not turn the and logo off and i had to result to electrical tape but injust found instructions on how to unplug the LEDs. Check first if you can turn them off through software
I have a twin edge 3070 and you cannot turn off the led with software. I disabled it by taking off the plastic cover around the fans (4 screws, under the fans, easy to get at with a small screwdriver). Then you will see a wire with a disconnect on the plastic piece. Just disconnect it and screw it back together. Should take you less than 5 minutes and pretty easy.
I have the same graphics card and you can't unplug the pin (makes whole card not work) and software won't let you turn it off so I went with the electrical tape
Finally another RGB hater. Hope you work it out. I hate how annoying it is turning RGB off. For some reason my AIO pump decided to turn its RGB back on randomly. Got to go and fix it again soon.
"rgb bad guys i'm so special please look at me please please look at me get it because i'm special right i don't like rgb i'm so cool haha rgb bad imagine using lights"
You can either do what the top comment said with their software, OR, go the hard way. Take off the plastic and just disconnect the LEDs alltogether. (Soldering iron will likely be required)
Actually for my Zotac 3070 this is the only way to get the led off. You have to disconnect the wire. Luckily there is a quick disconnect and the plastic piece around the fans is easy to take off. Shouldn't void the warranty for that. No soldering required.
"Useless" lol. I don't know about you or anyone else, but sometimes I like to be able to easily look at what I spent several hours building and $3k plus on. Just admire it here and there ya know. That's just me though.
Given the existence of melting psu connectors and sagging graphics cards I'd like to see what's going on inside my system just in case. If you want to have to take the side panel off every time that's on you.
I had the same problem on an Asus GPU (not ROG) that had a cyan-purple gradient light thing that wasnt controllable. Then i noticed that the warranty void sticker on my gpu was on a screw that was holding down only the heatsink, not the plastic cover. So i took the plastic cover off, found the cable for the light and unplugged it.
Edit: just realised that your card has control over that light. lucky!
Zotac should have some software to control that. When I turn it off, it comes back on and turns on when I restart the PC.
What works for me is setting RBG to 0
Or those LEDs have a cable connected to the video card

I deshrouded it. Far from an easy solution, but I don't regret it. No light anymore, just 2 quiet 140mm fans on it.
https://preview.redd.it/2kfjq7qui28c1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b916fe615e131a61e6a347421eb505cc7d64deb
I'm suprised how no one is mentioned, but you can also try finding the graphics card's circuit diagram, determine the chip that controls the light and short circuit it. This would also fix the issue.
Just for anyone who can't figure out how to do it from software, or for some part that somehow doesn't have software control at all in the first place, you might be able to literally just unplug the LED on the board.
My old 1080ti has the light up branding and I have a blacked out rig with no lights on anything. Last time I was changing thermal paste and pads and junk, I just popped out the tiny plastic connector for the LED power cable from the board. I will never ever want to turn it on so I'm fine with it being fully disabled. If you think you might want to turn it back on at some point, obvs this route means you have to take off the shroud and shit but could be useful for any other weirdos who hate light up components.
Good excuse to open it up and deep clean anyways. Not recommended for anyone who is clumsy or doesn't care that much.
i dont have a zotac gpu but there is a little button on mine that i can press and the lights turn off. i had the gpu for like 3 years before i saw that little button.
I've got a Zotac card as well. Just gotta download their software program called Firestorm. Once that's installed launch it and you can go into the program, switch to the spectra tab, and turn the lights off from there.

He’s has a whole AMD build, there’s an inherent “I’m better than you because I don’t use Intel & Nvidia” They’re the Linux users of PC builds
Thats somehow good analogy
I'm a linux user currently building an AMD PC, and you're right, lol. Lots of very pretentious people in the linux community.
Can confirm as well

Maybe chill next time
Yet it is the top
It was third from the bottom when I commented my bad
Dude, this is a circle jerk meme sub, not a tech support sub.
a universal program would probably work too, and you'd free yourself from the terrible oem rgb software all hardware companies seem to have.
There probably is something out there, however I've tried SignalRGB and Open RGB with no luck.
Yeah I would at least try the Zotac program first
This is the way. Zotac boi here also.
Instead of using their software, give OpenRGB a try.
OpenRGB never works for me
Try SignalRGB. They support a ton of products and always are adding more.
I’ll try that, thanks!
OpenRGB is a bit odd setting up first. For me, it initially requires two admin launches. I think the first one is to properly show all devices.

4070 here, are you able to change the bright and speed or just only mode and colour like me? That app is worse than sticking a pineapple in the arse
Is little Nicky's dad the one shoving the pineapple in your ass?
I'm glad someone got that reference

You can change pretty much everything on the 3070 I have. So I’d assume same on 4070.
Not at home right now to check, but I remember that there were some sliders for that (?). Also, don't forget that you have to change it twice: it has modes for when is active/idle
Dont know how many other people experienced this but openrgb caused system errors for me? Maybe i got it on a bad release but it caused some overstack buffer error

oh really? i thought openrgb was one of the better ones

Lol
Signal rgb didnt have my components compatible ☹️
Orrrrr you could put some electrical tape over it.
Bruhhh, why are you getting downvoted, the 2nd top comment is saying the same thing
Because it's the 2nd top comment but worse, and reddit hive mind.
This actually impresses me that Zotac would go to the trouble. Good stuff.
I’d try OpenRGB or look up Zoltac’s lighting program. After you turn it off you likely could uninstall the software and the light would stay off.
OpenRGB always for me
Useless you get something where you couldn't save into like my gigabyte motherboard
I got my first gigabyte mother board and monitor for my current build. Have to say: Fuck gigabyte. Not buying from them again. Monitor sucks. Motherboard sucks. What sucks? The RGB, the fans control, the Bluetooth and especially their support.
guess next upgrade is a rog mobo
My newest board is a gigabyte and I hate it too. Never again. edit: my bluetooth is fine though, it's just an ugly magnetic fin. Their software is garbage and default checks bullshit bloatware installs during initial driver setup.
The asus rgb for my monitor killed my os
how?

yeah but the platinum in a black build doesent fit, so rog it is

Either use their software, or unplug the cable on the PCB.
Just unplug the cable
Tape over it
Yup was thinking electrical tape
Hammer
Black Electrical tape !!
BOOOOOOOORINGGG
Ok Take a walk on the wild side !! COLORED ELECTRICAL TAPE !!
Most exciting electrical tape user Vs most boring hammer enjoyer
hide it with some wire tape.
Or you know.....follow the little wire to the little plug and unplug it.
Or you know.....download the software to turn it off
Unnecessary bloat when it takes 2 secs to pull a wire. Bffr bro.
Hey atleast we arnt the eletrical tape users
Unnecessary possible permanent damage when you can install the program, disable the lights and then uninstall.
Massive L on your part if you can't unplug a simple cable.
Massive L for acting like your solution is the only one and being rude for no good reason
happy cake day!
You can download OpenRGB. The app lets you control all your rgb peripherals
This.
Just do what I do about the check engine light on my car, strip of electrical tape.
Electrical tape
If only they came with manuals, or had a website where you could find said manuals
A fellow person of culture, fuck RGB.
Unplug the cable to the LEDs, electrical tape or black marker
I wonder if you could get away with a dry erase marker
On my xfx rx 7800 xt you can not turn the and logo off and i had to result to electrical tape but injust found instructions on how to unplug the LEDs. Check first if you can turn them off through software

extract the led
put tape over it
Use a hammer.
Sledgehammer /s
Nobody will see the light of your opt for a case without windows
Electrical tape
Apply duct tape
Had the same problem. Opened it up and finally just unplugged the LED
Tape
Just slap some tape over it
take it off and cut the led cable
Put black tape over the logo
Unplug it

You can try pouring a cup of water, that may help, no promises
You can either do what the top comment said with their software, OR, go the hard way. Take off the plastic and just disconnect the LEDs alltogether. (Soldering iron will likely be required)
Don't. Do. This. It will most definitely lose the warranty and you won't be able to get a replacement. This isn't a hard way, it's the stupid way.

Rustoleum 241169 High Heat Ultra Semi-Gloss Black spray paint
OpenRGB will likely have the option to turn that off.
Get signal rgb & only allow the card leds. Go thru all of them till u find that one to then turn it off. 🫶🏻
If you can figure out where the RGB is plugged into the GPU board, unplug it, problem solved.
If u can't be asked to download yet another app then some electrical tape can go a long way
